26 The king said to me, whose new name was Belteshazzar, "Is this true? Can you tell me what I dreamed and what it means?"

27 I replied, "There are no wise men or fortune-tellers or men who work magic or men who work sorcery who can tell such things to you. 28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has shown in your dream what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you what you dreamed, the vision you saw as you were lying on your bed.
